Over Rijksmuseum
The Rijksmuseum departure point is located on the Stadhouderskade, right at the foot of Amsterdam's most famous museum. From here you can board a canal cruise, open boat, or pedal bike and glide past the grand houses of the Museumkwartier.
This is one of our most popular departure points, especially for visitors combining a museum visit with time on the water. The surrounding area offers cafes, the Vondelpark, and Museumplein.
